    • I haven’t seen this one before eighter. It is a pity the photo is so small, I can’t read all the details.
      I guess the backside has no label.
      It is probably from the 1960s. But if you send a better photo I could probably say with more certainty from what years it is. I’ll send you an e-mail to facilitate sending a better picture.

  4. I have one full Magnum of V.S.O.P Courvoisier, The Brandy of Napoleon Cognac it has on it the coat of arms of the United Kingdom, by appointment, purveyers of cognac to the late King George V1

    Can you give me what year? Also has it got a value in todays market?
    It belongs to a friend who is 85 years old, her father (Edgar Brit) was a Jockey for Queen Elizabeth and it was either given to him by the Queen or when he rode in India.

    Antwoorden ↓

    • You did not attach a photo, but given your description it will be from the 1960s. Could be 1950s or also early 70s.
      If you would buy such a magnum in an auction, the price would be around €150.
      Edgar Brit? You didn’t mean Edgar Britt (double ’t’) the Australian Jockey?

      Antwoorden ↓

    • I can’t read the little shoulder label. Does it say ‘Le Petit Caporal’? Le Petit Caporal bottles are from the 1950s. But the cognac inside has been aged for 2-4 year so it is a low quality cognac.
      How big is the bottle?
      Is it possible to post a photo with higher resolution?
      Thanks,
      Ton

      • It is indeed a le petit caporal. I believe its 18ml but I’m not sure. It’s definitely smaller than 50ml. What’s your Email?

  6. Hi,please can you tell me somethig of this bottle Courvoisier. I can’t to find anything on the web. The bottle was buyed 1960 somewhere in Europa. Any info,price. . .
    Thanks
    Best regards

    • Hi Bojan,

      It is difficult to see what content it has. It looks like half a bottle to me, maybe 340ml?
      The three star courvoisier is the lowest quality. They are not worth much. Just this year a whole bottle and a half were sold for €42.
      But because this bottle is not on my catalog page yet, could you perhaps send me a better picture?
      Thank,
